I am proud to be part of "Team Dementia UK Royal Parks Half Marathon 2025” as I take on the challenge of the Royal Parks Half Marathon on 12 October 2025. This journey is deeply personal for me, as I lost my father to Frontotemporal Dementia in July 2019. This rare and progressive brain condition profoundly affected his behavior, personality, language, and movement, leaving a lasting impact on our family.

Running this marathon is not just about crossing the finish line; it’s about raising awareness and funds for families grappling with the life-changing effects of dementia. Dementia UK is a beacon of hope for those affected by all forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. Their dedicated Admiral Nurses provide invaluable support, helping families navigate the challenges that come with this condition. They empower individuals with dementia to maintain their independence while offering caregivers the strength they need to face both the difficult days and cherish the good ones.

I invite you to join me in this vital mission. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of countless families facing dementia. My target is to raise £1000 for this incredible charity. Your support will help ensure that more families receive the compassionate care they deserve during their most challenging times.
